Abstract

German

Prof. Dr. Aaron Ciechanover (Haifa) spricht über seine Forschungen an dem Peptid Ubiquitin, das im Organismus nicht mehr benötigte Proteine abbaut. Diese intrazelluläre 'Müllabfuhr' ist notwendig für die Gesunderhaltung unseres Körpers. Die Erforschung des Ubiquitin-Systems ist Grundlage für die Entwicklung moderner Medikamente, u. a. für die Krebsbekämpfung. Aaron Ciechanover erhielt im Jahre 2004 den Nobelpreis für Chemie zusammen mit Avram Hershko und Irwin Rose.

Prof. Dr. Aaron Ciechanover (Haifa) speaks about his research on the peptide ubiquitin which is necessary for the protelolysis in our organism. This intracellular 'waste collection' is necessary for the health of our body. The investigation of the ubiquitin proteasome system is an important basis for the development of modern drugs like for instance for cancer control. Aaron Ciechanover is the Nobel laureate in chemistry in 2004 together with Avran Hershko and Irwin Rose.
